A Visit From A God

This was late August or early September of 2013. Before I begin, let me start by saying that until this point, I didn't believe in ANY God. (Not Atheist. Just not religious.) Now; on with my story.

I remember I was up late, enjoying my recent high school graduation by playing Pokémon until about 2AM. (Not very exciting, I know. But, that's me.) Once I got bored of that, I saved and went to bed, passing out in moments, it seems.

Roughly an hour or so later, I woke up out of a dead sleep for seemingly NO reason. I'm a very light sleeper but usually I know what disturbed me. I had always been told that if you randomly wake up, a ghost is watching you. (My house is haunted and I have many experiences. I'll likely eventually get to share them in the right place.) So, rolling my eyes, I turn over to face my door, thinking I was just having a moment. But, I couldn't get comfortable. So, I opened my eyes and almost screamed. (I tried but there was no sound.)

Standing, looking at me from behind a shelf by my door was a white deer head on a hairy human body ending with deer legs. I bolted upright; panting, terrified. I was raised Christian so seeing this made me think of evil. But, the figure just watched me, pawing or "hoofing" at the ground. He seemingly just wanted to observe me. Once the initial shock wore off, I began thinking rationally. "Okay." I thought, "You played too much Pokémon and now you're seeing a Sawsbuck in Winter form. This is a dream." However, I knew it wasn't. I may be stupid but I know dream from reality. No matter how real it seemed.

I don't know how or why but I passed out again, waking up at around noon the next day. I bolted out of bed and to my friends house as we were going out that day. I remember grabbing him, shaking him like a ragdoll and DEMANDING he explain it as it felt like he'd know. He explained to me it was Cernunnos. And, after seeing pictures, I agreed. However, I still had ONE question... WHY was I seeing my FRIENDS God? Gods aren't real, right? They're just pretend, right?

And that, dear readers, is the FIRST encounter with a God. Pan encounters coming soon.

Hi, I'm a Vietnam Veteran now staying in a Veterans Medical Facility (broken ankle) The Brockton Ma VA While staying here, I have become the Victim of a Thief and Stolen were my most Valued Possession's, mostly Birthday Presents from my now Dearly Departed Mother. (an Elec. Razor, an AM-FM Radio, and other items) Well, No-One here at the V.A. Cared! So I Suffered alone
I was transferred to a "Single" room with just the one bed. First night, I was having trouble sleeping, when in walks my Mother! And sits at the foot of my bed. I said, "Ma, what the heck You doing here? She said, "I have come to calm You down, help you relax." She said, "Don't worry about those things, they can always be replaced." It was about then I noticed someone standing in the door-way right beside my head.
I knew all my Mother's friends but had never seen this Gentleman before. I started to check Him out. A Big Man with a big white beard, wearing loose fitting, Desert style clothing, I leaned over and He had sandals on His feet. He then looked down on me and smiled. We, My Mother and I talked a little bit and Then they were gone. I got up and came to this computer, typed in my Mother's name and up-pop Her Obit. (Last Aug.)
So, what I'm trying to explain is. My Mother saw my Pain and got God's help to come and calm me down.--
I guess my message is. God is watching and He cares.
PS/ I attended Parochial School, with the Sisters of Notre Dame. Saint Charles in Woburn (https://saintcharleswoburn.com/)
PPS/ I know the "Tem Commandments" and follow them the Best I can. But "The Visit" was something Very Special and I will carry it with me, the rest of my days.
Thank You for Your Time.
I don't want to leave my name.
